is Blowin Smoke!
Hey guys. I haven't been on here for a few years but still smoke and Q whenever duty calls. My Weber Performer grill has seen it's better days. I seldom grill to be honest with ya. Usually when I do anything it is smoking on my UDS. But when I need a grill I NEED a grill lol. The poor Weber just sits out there and is in really poor condition. The ash catcher pan is destroyed as the rivets came out a few years ago and the aluminum got bent and I rigged it back together with self tapping screws. The aluminum is so bent up it won't even stay in and is hanging by one pin. The intake vents are ruined and the lid blew off out of the back of my truck at 60 mph on our way to tailgate last year and bounced down the highway. But the cart that it sits in is absolutely beautiful. I have 2 UDS smokers and only one ever gets used. The other one has been sitting out there on my patio needing a new paint job and rusting so yesterday I chopped it up and made a grill/mini smoker out of it. Now I just need to figure out how to adapt it to my Performer cart as it appears to be about 1/4-1/2" too wide to fit in there. If I could get it through the opening I could just set in on the 2 carry handles that will be bolted to the thing. My Performer is one of the newer models with the round tubing not the square. I am not sure if they changed the dimensions as I have seen threads where people put UDS smokers in old style Performer carts. I used all pieces from the original UDS and aluminum pop rivets along with ultra copper high temp RTV. Going to give it a fresh coat of paint this morning. Pardon the one pic with my fire basket. I was using this thing as a trash can as I was building it lol.
